Generator/Regulator Trobleshooting Flowchart

While working on my old tractor I ran across this flowchart.

It's an unusual troubleshooting format (at least to me), but couldn't be any simpler or more informative. What we need is for V8 Bob to do a flowchart for brake problems!

Hope this is helpful to someone.

 

Good point at which to remind people that there are 2 common wiring schemes for the 3 terminal regulator systems, HD circuit used on Fords (6 and 12) and light duty circuit used by GM and many others.
The above is non-Ford, so at the box numbered "3" jump F to A rather than ground!!
Print it off, but add a correction if you have Ford generator!

 

A by the numbers or flow chart approach usually works pretty well when trouble shooting.

 

Thanks Bruce.

 

Very nice. Will print this out and put in the tool box
